“What's the point of unlocking stuff for your next runs when you can already finish the game + DLC at your first try with the first and only available character (which is supposed to be weaker than the other ones) by playing absolutely casually without even paying attention to what skills you're choosing and being able to idle after about 5 minutes of gameplay melting everything on the screen with zero effort?”
